b. After a maximum of n-1 iterations, the size of set C will become 1. At that point, there's only one cause left in the set. There are absolutely no other causes available that can cause it. Therefore, this single cause must be an uncaused cause. End of proof.
We thank Team Pro for accepting. We shall present our case in this round, and rebut in the next.
For the first contention, we present the transcendental argument against the existence of God, formulated by analytic philosopher Michael Martin, the Professor Emeritus at Boston University [1]. If the universe was caused by an omniscient God, it is natural to suppose that God created logic and the physical laws within the universe. This would mean the universe, logic and science are contingent on God's existence, i.e. a proposition that God is necessarily existent is entailed from the idea of an omniscient cause of the universe.
Consider logic. Logic presupposes that its principles are necessarily true, but if God caused logic, then logic cannot be philosophically necessary as it is contingent upon the existence of God. If logic is contingent upon God according to deistic assumption, then using logical reasoning to justify God naturally begs the question. "And if principles of logic are contingent on God, they are not logically necessary. Moreover, if principles of logic are contingent on God, God could change them. Thus, God could make the law of noncontradiction false; in other words, God could arrange matters so that a proposition and its negation were true at the same time. But this is absurd. How could God arrange matters so that New Zealand is south of China and that New Zealand is not south of it? So, one must conclude that logic is not dependent on God." [2]
Physical laws and science presuppose the uniformity of nature via. special relativity, thus there cannot be violations of such laws. The property of omnipotence violates the uniformity of nature by allowing supernatural actions that violate such physical laws, thus challenging the core assumption of science. If this core assumption can be challenged, there is no reason to believe science can argue for God [3].
Thus, any justification for the likelihood of God's existence, philosophical or scientific, would be impossible as God's existence would challenge the validity of necessary logic and the uniformity of nature. This makes it incoherent to state "God Exists" too, as that statement presumes facts about logic that cannot be changing.
C2) A caused universe is incoherent
a) Requirements for Causation
Physicist Sean Carroll notes two features that allow us to coherently talk about any form of causation whatsoever [4].
i. Time & the arrow of time (determined by entropy)
ii. Physical laws
Time and the arrow of time are naturally required to speak of causation. Without an arrow of time, it is impossible to coherently speak of a 'process' of anything, or a 'beginning' of something. The beginning would have to have a fixed point in the arrow of time, without which it is impossible for anything to coherently 'happen' over a period of *time* (because there is no time).
For something to 'occur', it has to occur with a principle supporting its possibility. Possibility is incoherent without physical laws, as objective properties or actions are incoherent without limitation. It can be illustrated by the paradox of the stone, which admittedly does not disprove omnipotence, but illustrates how physical laws are necessary for anything to coherently have a 'cause' or beginning.
Prior to the origin of the universe, there were neither physical laws nor time. Sans these essential features of the universe, to speak of causality is incoherent. That the universe was caused is the primary assumption of deism, and without these properties, a caused universe is incoherent.
b) Eternalism
Another reason why the universe must be uncaused is the truth of Eternalism. For something to come into being, there must be a state in time where it first doesn't exist [5]. Under Eternalism change doesn't ontologically happen and therefore neither does causation [6]. William Lane Craig writes, "[o]n a B-Theory of time, the universe does not in fact come into being or become actual at the Big Bang; it just exists tenselessly as a four-dimensional space-time block that is finitely extended in the earlier than direction." [7]
Furthermore, the B-theory and eternalism entail lack of coherent temporal 'change'. J.M.E. McTaggart writes, "Changes must happen to the events of such a nature that the occurrence of these changes does not hinder the events from being events, and the same events, both before and after the change. Now what characteristics of an event are there which can change and yet leave the event the same event? (I use the word characteristic as a general term to include both the qualities which the event possesses, and the relations of which it is a term -- or rather the fact that the event is a term of these relations.) It seems to me that there is only one class of such characteristics -- namely, the determination of the event in question by the terms of the A series." [14]
According to general relativity, space is 'stretchable'. This was confirmed by the Friedmann observations and Hubble's Law, that were used by Georges Lemaitre to propose the Big Bang theory, that states the universe is expanding, which is shown via. the cosmological redshift [8]. The Borde-Guth-Vilenkin singularity theorem, derived by Arvind Borde, Alan Guth and Alexander Vilenkin, further supports the theory that the universe is expanding [9].
General relativity also yields 'eternalism' or block universe, where the past, present and future are all equally real, and the passage of time is illusory via. the B-theory of time. General relativity models time as a 'fourth dimension' of space itself, allowing for the block universe theory to be likely true. Causality cannot be stressed on unless one assumes the presentism ontology of time, which is dubious in light of scientific discoveries supporting eternalism, especially special and general relativity. "Many [scientists and philosophers] have argued against presentism on the grounds that presentism is incompatible with the theory of relativity." [10]
If eternalism is true, causation is incoherent. In special relativity, each observer has their own 'plane of simultaneity', a small section of three-dimensional space where all events are simultaneous [6]. "Special relativity suggests that the concept of simultaneity is not universal: according to the relativity of simultaneity, observers in different frames of reference can have different perceptions of whether a given pair of events happened at the same time or at different times, with there being no physical basis for preferring one frame's judgments over another's. ... So, in special relativity there can be no physical basis for picking out a unique set of events that are all happening simultaneously in 'the present'." [11] This entails eternalism. Therefore, temporal change and, thus, causation, are incoherent.
Experiments from quantum mechanics have also vindicated Eternalism. Photons have been entangled through time [12]. An experimenter can choose to entangle photons even when they don't exist in the present anymore. Other experiments show time is an emergent phenomenon. An outside observer would view the universe as static [13].
C3) Omniscience is an incoherent property
There is reason to believe Eternalism is true via. God's nature. God is omniscient, he knows everything possible about the past, present and future. As philosopher David Kyle Johnson argues, for God's knowledge to be true, there must be the event which makes it true [15]. God's knowledge about something like, say, a cup on the table is made true by an existing cup on the table. If God's knowledge had no truthmakers, then his knowledge would be false. What then, makes God's knowledge about future or past events true? It would have to be the future or past event. However, since the future is causing God's knowledge it must exist. If the future is non-existent, there are no properties about the future. Making it impossible for God to know anything about it. This entails the future must exist, as well as the past.
Eternalism is therefore implied via. God's omniscience. As we have shown above, eternalism and a caused universe cannot coexist. Making God's property of omniscience incompatible with his property of being a creator.
C4) Non-cognitivism of 'greatness'
With the argument from non-cognitivism, I will attempt to demonstrate that the term 'God' does not refer to a coherent concept. The property of 'greatness' is inherently subjective, with qualities that determine greatness dependant on the subject.
One requires a standard for this conception of God to be considered omnipotent, i.e. all-powerful, where 'power' is the inherently subjective term, or 'perfect goodness', where objective perfection must be justified, and, in this case, greatness. For example, in a universe consisting of only a pencil, one cannot call the pencil a 'sharp' pencil, since the pencil lacks a standard to be justified objectively as sharp. Similarly, a property such as 'maximal greatness' requires a standard to be justified objectively, and sans such a standard, the concept of God as defined is incoherent. Thus, 'greatness' faces two basic problems:
1. A standard is required for the term 'greatness' to become meaningful.
2. 'Greatness', and what basically constructs it, is inherently subjective.
For a being defined according to being great, the initial problem renders God meaningless unless an objective standard is present for greatness to be coherent. The latter renders God's very nature a matter of subjective decision, thus God's objective existence is not rationally justifiable, while "existence" depends on objective reality.
An objective standard derived for God must either be (a) internal to God, or (b) external to God. The former begs the question and leads to God being self-defined, the latter is incoherent since God is transcendent, and sans the universe there is nothing which has objective reality except God (if he exists).

Rebuttal 1: Transcendental argument against God
R1) Pool table argument
Objection 1: The 'Law of Causality'
The pool table argument attempts to demonstrate that there is one uncaused cause (UC). The question that follows is obvious--this uncaused cause is a cause of what? This objection holds that the UC may be a cause of anything, but not the universe. The universe having a cause lacks coherence, since causality itself is implausible sans time, since the passage of time is required for anything to coherently 'happen'. Eternalism also renders temporal change incoherent, since change does not ontologically occur in eternalism, thus time cannot have been caused.
Objection 2: Free Will & Intelligence
Pro asserts that the UC "act[ed] freely", asserting that there was nothing prior to the cause, thus it had to act freely. This is based on the assumption that the uncaused cause is the cause of the universe, which is dubious in light of objection one. Thus, some aspect of natural laws must have influenced the cause, thus the cause cannot have acted freely or did not necessarily have a form of intelligence.
Objection 3: Predetermined Cause
Pro then argues that, the UC must be free, as the cause cannot be predetermined. The problem is that, Pro is only taking into account predetermination by external causes. However, if the UC is predetermined by its own nature, then there doesn't need to be anything external to UC. Therefore, the first premise of the subargument is false and by extension the second one is too.
R2) Kalam cosmological argument
a) Causal Premise
Pro's defense of P1 commits the fallacy of composition, viz. the assumption that since all things within the universe have causes, the whole universe must have a cause. The fallacy of composition arises when one infers that the whole has a property because all parts of the whole have that property, e.g. stating H2O is a gas in room temperature when H2 and O2 are gases at room temperature [1][2].
As mentioned, causality maintains coherence only in the presence of time--sans time and natural laws, we no longer have any reason to believe things need causes. Causality of the universe is not required, since hypotheses such as the zero-energy universe remain logically consistent with existing laws, defying the causal principle in the universe's beginning [3].
Pro is inconsistent, since their defense of P2 appeals to the Hawking singularity theorem [Pro's 4. source]. However, scientific laws all break down at singularity, the cannot consistently claim that science justifies P1 [8].
b) The Universe Began to Exist
The second premise assumes a presentism ontology of time and the A-series to be accurate, since eternalism and the B-series would allow for a non-classical interpretation of the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem, that would allow the universe to exist as a tenseless four-dimensional block--not one that existed forever, but one that cannot have had a finite beginning in time coherently either, as Craig himself concedes [4][5]. In other words, the universe would come into existence ex nihilo, but not begin to exist.
As demonstrated in the previous round, eternalism and the B-series are entailed by special relativity [7], and Craig's defenses in an attempt to reconcile presentism with relativity have received major criticism [6].
Pro's interpretation of the Big Bang is highly flawed--the Big Bang does not state that the universe began to exist, merely that it began expanding 13.8 billion years ago [9]. The singularity model of the Big Bang, to which Pro is appealing, also predicts that the physical laws are not valid at the singularity, e.g. the causal principle [10].
R3) The fine-tuning argument
a) Fine-Tuned Constants
Pro provides examples of finely-tuned constants, but it seems none of these constants are actually 'fine-tuned', thus Pro has flawed speculation. The two examples of fine tuning have to do with the gravitational constant and the likelihood of the universe starting out with low entropy.
Pro's own source says that entropy is not an example of fine-tuning. Roger Penrose writes, "But why was the big bang so precisely organized, whereas the big crunch (or the singularities in black holes) would be expected to be totally chaotic? … What we appear to find is that there is a constraint WEYL = 0 (or something very like this) at initial space-time singularities--but not at final singularities--and this seems to be what confinesthe Creator's choice to this very tiny region of phase space." [11] (note that Penrose doesn't literally mean creator, it's a thought experiment) Penrose's assumptions on fine-tuning are also based on the assumption that the universe is closed, but that is dubious in light of observations of the CMBR [12].
The gravitational constant does not need to be fine-tuned either. For a constant to need tuning, it must first be dimensionless. This means the end result doesn't depend on the units of measurement you use. The units you use are irrelevant because "[t]hey are arbitrary human conventions." [13] The gravitational constant is not a dimensionless constant [14], thus "depends on the system of units being used and, likewise, is not a universal constant. This is because the unit of mass is arbitrary and G will depend on the choice of units." [15]
b) Alternate Explanations
Michael Hurben argues that the constants cannot have been 'tuned' to anything else, since their tuning is out of physical necessity [16]. Pro asserts that random chance is 'unreasonable', but there is no justification for the same. Thus, I shall demonstrate why random chance is not necessarily unreasonable. In a hypothetical situation, imagine someone tosses a pack of 52 cards sideways, such that they get a curved line of cards--the order they get can always be considered precise, and while it may be improbable that it occurred of random chance or physical necessity, it did. This is primarily because the metaphysical possibility of intelligent design is not justified. Theodore Drange argues a similar analogy using dice to refute the fine-tuning argument [17].
R4) Intelligent design
a) Genetic Information
The essence of Pro's argument is that it is implausible for the transfer of genetic information to occur naturally. This is highly flawed. Evolution can also produce new genetic information. Genomes with terminal protein are 'vehicles' of information transfer in genes [18].
According to a study published in the Scientific American, biologists *observed* the creation of new genes and genetic information via. evolution [19]. "In a study in the journal Science, Andersson, Roth and their colleagues demonstrate the process in lab-grown Salmonella enterica. They grew one strain missing a gene key for expressing the essential amino acid tryptophan. The strain needed to rely on another gene, which had a primary job but also a weak ability to take on the missing gene's work. The researchers encouraged the bacteria to duplicate the overworked gene, and its copies gathered mutations—some of which enhanced tryptophan production. At the end of a year's time (3,000 generations later) the bacteria had one gene that did the original job and a second that had evolved a new primary function—manufacturing tryptophan." [20]
b) Irreducible Complexity
We have no reason to believe this 'irreducible complexity' could not be formed via. abiogenesis and natural selection. The evolution of ATP synthase is an example of modular evolution, during which two functionally independent subunits became associated and gained new functionality [21]. The ATP synthase is thought to have formed early in evolutionary history, at a point where all species with DNA did not necessarily have ATP synthase [22].
The most widely accepted theory for the origin of ATP synthase is the modular evolution theory. "The modular evolution theory for the origin of ATP synthase suggests that two subunits with independent function, a DNA helicase with ATPase activity and a H+ motor, were able to bind, and the rotation of the motor drove the ATPase activity of the helicase in reverse." [23]
As mentioned, new genetic information can be produced via. evolution. The origin of DNA emerged from RNA, and RNA nucleotides have been produced abiotically [24][25].
The resolution is negated.

Defense of Contention 1: Pool Table Argument
Please see comments for Pro's bid to change the format--we accept it, and shall only defend our own case in this round and crystallize. We thank Team Pro for such an excellent and wonderful debate. Note that we also concede the transcendental argument against God.
Ob1: If even one contention of ours is upheld, and all of our opponent's arguments are refuted, we automatically win the debate.
Ob2: If team Pro has failed to objectively demonstrate even one property of God, they have not affirmed that God exists, thus have failed to fulfill BoP.
C1) A caused universe is incoherent
a) Requirements for Causality
The metaphysical realm is, by definition, that realm that is not bound by any principles, i.e. transcendent to the universe. But, as mentioned, nothing can coherently 'occur' without some principles supporting their occurrence and binding it. Pro does *not* object to this.
Furthermore, Pro asserts that there could be another form of 'timeliness' sans the universe--but that is ad hoc and highly unlikely. The universe is defined as "all of time and space, and its contents" [1]. Michael Zeilik and Stephen Gregory write, "[The universe is the] totality of time and space; all that is, was, and ever will be." [2] Thus, all of time--i.e. any form of passage where events take place that is coherently referred to as 'time'--is within the universe; thus, an additional form of timeliness sans the universe is highly unlikely.
Pro's argument is going from the frying pan into the fire. One could ask if the time before the big bang had a cause. If so, then he's back at the problem he was at. If it was eternal, then nothing could've caused time and therefore God isn't the cause of the universe.
Pro's own source used to say there could have been "time before the Big Bang" contradicts Pro's position--the source says, "[L]ow entropy near the Big Bang is responsible for everything about the arrow of time" [3], and entropy began with the Big Bang [4][5]. Since Pro *concedes* that some form of timeliness is required for causality, and there was probably no form of timeliness before the universe, God probably can't exist.
Additionally, causality is not required. Pro argues that it's incoherent to think of something coming out of nothing--but things aren't formed ex nihilo because they are bound by physical laws, time, and the First Law of Thermodynamics [6]. An example would be a quantum fluctuation, for instance, with zero energy--a quantum fluctuation originates from either a false vacuum or a state of absolute vacuum, and is an annihilation of a particle and antiparticle, where the energy goes out of existence in a period of less than Planck time, unless the fluctuation's net energy is zero [17].
b) Eternalism
Pro states special relativity is compatible with presentism. Even if this were true, note that we didn't just argue relativity implies eternalism. If you reread our argument you'll see we argued quantum mechanics also implies eternalism.
Nonetheless, the attempts to save presentism from relativity fail. Pro's sources argue we don't need to accept simultaneity with relativity. However, this doesn't mean we can accept presentism. Eternalism doesn't need absolute simultaneity, there are subsets of eternalism that accept an objective present, e.g. moving spotlight theory [7]. Presentism would still have no answer to the experiments that show time is relative.
People who make this argument fail to understand that relative reference frames are a core concept in relativity itself [8]. There should be more of an argument than just "It's possible there is an absolute reference frame."
The next argument they bring up is from a blog called "Soulphysics". He argues that eternalism implies determinateness. Then shows relativity implies no event is determinate. This fails because, eternalism only implies determinate states of time, not determinate events within time. Events within time (length, time, speed, etc.) have indeterminate value, but the temporal state itself doesn't. If eternalism did make claims about values of said events, it wouldn't be a philosophical theory at all.
Their next two arguments are essentially the same argument. They're arguing it's not reasonable to accept eternalism, because it seems like there is a passage of time. We have answered this somewhat in our first round. Time can be emergent. Within the universe people would experience time, but ontologically time would be static. This idea has been tested and verified by physics [9]. As we stated above there are eternalist theories that have a present and passage of time. Another explanation is that the passage of time is an illusion created by our minds. We know that the passage of time is mental, since we can change how quickly we perceive it via. drugs like psilocybin [10], and adrenaline [11]. It's also dependent on how old you are, younger people experience time slower than older people [12]. It's reasonable to conclude that the passage of time is a creation of the mind itself. By Occam's razor, we should accept it. We have established the perception of time is mental, it's simpler to state there is nothing more to the perception of time than proposing an actual passage of time that the mind interprets. The former posits no unnecessary entities.
Next, they argue eternalism doesn't imply the nonexistence of God. If they were correct, then there must be a way to save causation from eternalism. However, Pro doesn't make an attempt to argue that. They imply there is without justification. They use a false analogy with a movie, but fail to see that the reason a movie needs to be caused was because there's experiences prior to the movie. This is incoherent when applying the same standard to the block universe itself. Sean Carroll claiming he doesn't know what happened before the big bang is irrelevant. Eternalism makes no claims about what was before the big bang at all. Just that all states of time exist.
C2) Omniscience is an incoherent property
Pro here claims God's knowledge is based on present events. They're basically claiming God's knowledge is analogous to a Laplacian demon (a hypothetical demon which knows the present state of every particle in existence can determine the future and figure out the past [13]).
Science shows this type of knowledge is impossible. Lord Kelvin pointed out that according to the second law of thermodynamics information would have to be lost eventually [14]. Furthermore, modern quantum mechanics is indeterministic, meaning knowing the current state of particles won't get you anywhere in the future. There are certain states which are formed probabilistically [15].
However, there is a philosophical problem with this. God can only have knowledge of future events in virtue of the present. Pro is arguing that God created the physical universe. Therefore, the first state of the universe wasn't always in existence (otherwise omniscience would be incoherent), but this implies God wasn't always omniscient. Prior to the universe, God would only know that he wants the universe to come into existence. If I am going to create a house and have all the blueprints in my mind, do I have knowledge of an actual house? Of course not. But omniscience entails that God should know everything--even that which doesn't exist. For example, I'm not eating a pizza right now, so God can't 'know' I am, but he is supposed to 'know' everything epistemically by omniscience.
The same problem can be derived via. epistemic nihilism, and Munchausen trilemma [16], viz. nothing can be known for certain without being logically fallacious, thus 'knowledge', in nature, is incoherent. The above analogy simply conveys this.
Thus the Laplacian theory of omniscience is false.
C3) Non-cognitivism of 'greatness'
Pro asserts that 'greatness' can be justified objectively, but have failed to specify what is considered *objectively* great. One, for instance, may assert that "he is great", but one may disagree. It is incoherent to qualify something as 'great' objectively--any attributed 'greatness' can be challenged, and it is impossible to make an epistemic assertion that something is 'great'. Thus, it is natural to conclude the term 'greatness' is inherently subjective.
Pro also makes the claim that regardless of whether or not the 'greatness' of God has a standard, God still exists. But God's greatness is by definition, thus is objective, so Pro merely begs the question, especially with the moral argument, which basically renders their argument thus:
1. If God exists, God is great.
2. God exists.
3. Therefore, God is great.
But the second premise must hope to justify an objectively great God, which none of Pro's arguments demonstrate--Pro's arguments *drop* the property of 'greatness'.
In their last argument, Pro argues just because God is subjectively great, that doesn't entail his nonexistence. They give the example with Gandhi. However, Gandhi's existence is independent of greatness. Since God is 'great' objectively by definition, his existence is dependent on his 'greatness', and all his other properties.
Here, OV2 can be extended to demonstrate that Pro has *not* demonstrated the property of greatness, thus they have not affirmed the existence of a 'great' God, so have not fulfilled BoP.
Forward OV2, thus Pro have not fulfilled BoP with their arguments, while 3 of ours stand. Thus, vote Con. Thanks for a fun debate.
Sources in comments.
We want to thank Team Con for a wonderful debate. We hope that you enjoyed the debate, and hopefully both teams provided thought provoking arguments.
As per the rules, we waive this round, and of course! Vote Pro.
Please do not hesitate to respond!
Thanks for the feedback. But we hope to hear your full feedback.
Just reading the first couple of rounds...
John Lucas' problems with eternalism are pretty silly and scientifically inept.
Sean Carroll's claim that you need time and physical laws to have any causation is just philosophically ignorant...
Con's contention 1 assumes God created logic... and I don't personally know of *any* theist who thinks that.
Pro's contention 1 assumes the principle of causality and really doesn't give much defense of it.
That being said, the rest of what I read was pretty good, and I'll hopefully get the chance to read/vote on this debate soon. Good job to both sides.
(Just kidding of course)
And this wasn't my debate. Credit goes to lannan and creationtruth.

Hy-Vee announced that more than 100 of its stores would take part in the second Healthiest State Walk on Wednesday. Hy-Vee stores will help organize the one-kilometer walks in their communities and offer prizes to encourage people, businesses and schools to participate.
More than 291,000 residents took part in 5,645 walks last year to kick off the five-year Healthiest State Initiative, pushed by Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.
"We know a one-kilometer walk, in and of itself, isn't going to have a big impact on an individual's health," Hy-Vee assistant VP health and wellness and Healthiest State Initative executive director Helen Eddy said. "But when hundreds of thousands of Iowans join their neighbors and co-workers and classmates to walk together, it sends a powerful message about our commitment to making Iowa the healthiest state."

Kodak looks to re-emerge from bankruptcy
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Kodak is hoping to extend its exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization.
The company, which officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, said it will highlight its restructuring accomplishments to date and hopes the extension will "assist the company as it continues its progress toward successful emergence in the first half of 2013." The company will call out such progress highlights as: the successful stabilization of its business; the development of its emergence plan; significant operating improvements; the expansion of customer and vendor relationships and substantial cost reductions.
"Kodak is making good progress toward emergence from Chapter 11, taking significant actions to reorganize our core ongoing businesses, reduce costs, sell assets, and streamline our organizational structure," Kodak chairman and CEO Antonio Perez said. "Steps, such as the sale of Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging, and the Consumer Inkjet decision, will substantially advance the transformation of our business to focus on commercial, packaging and functional printing solutions and enterprise services. As we complete the other key objectives of our restructuring in the weeks ahead, we will be well positioned to emerge successfully in 2013."

Mapping Out Ravens' Season For Better Or Worse

The Ravens are one of the chicest picks to win the whole damn thing, which certainly scares everyone in the 410.

Ravens' T.J. Houshmandzadeh reels in game-winning TD in final minute
By: Michael |
PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers were so close to being 4-0 without Ben Roethlisberger. Only close doesn't count in the Ravens-Steelers rivalry, where every game is tight and no lead is truly safe. Joe Flacco withstood Pittsburgh's late go-ahead touchdown and goal-line stand to throw an 18-yard scoring pass to T.J. Houshmandzadeh with 32 seconds remaining, and the Ravens won 17-14 Sunday to prevent the Steelers from going unbeaten without their suspended quarterback.

Packing your belongings in preparation for a move can be tricky, especially if packing is not something you do on a regular basis. There is hope, though, to help you pack in such a way to keep your stuff safe for the ride from your old place to your new home or flat in the moving truck. Take a peek.
How to Pack a Book Box
The items that you can pack into book boxes include books, desk supplies, photos, files, CDs, DVDs, tools, canned goods, spices, silverware, small lampshades, and non-hazardous cleaners and liquids. Before placing anything in these boxes, make sure that they are taped well on the bottom. Then, stuff the bottom of the box with loosely wadded paper. Once the box is full, fill the top with loosely wadded paper also. The top and bottom of the box should be firm, so that it doesn't cave in. Books, files, and DVDs should be packed vertically and with the spine down. Also, fragile items, like picture frames, should be wrapped in packing paper or bubble wrap before they go into the box.
How to Pack a Dish Box: Items that can be included in dish boxes include electronics, lamp bases, vases, plates, glasses, bowls, stemware, cups and small appliances. The number one piece of advice when packing a dish box is to use packing paper liberally. There is truly no such thing as using too much packing paper in dish boxes. The reason that you need to use so much packing paper is for protection of your belongings. So, the more paper you use, the more protection your things have. Fill the bottom of the box first with loosely wadded packing paper. Then, wrap every item you place in the box in packing paper and place the items in rows. The heavier the item, the lower it should be. So your heavier items should be at the bottom of the box and your lighter items at the top. Then, put in some more loosely wadded paper at the top of the box before taping it shut.
How to Pack a Wardrobe Box: The wardrobe box can hold hanging clothes, pillows, wrapping paper rolls, garage tools, and artificial plants. When packing hanging clothes into the wardrobe box, start by placing a couple of pillows in the bottom to save on space. Then simply move clothes from your closet to the box. For other items, such as plants, shovels, rakes, or wrapping paper rolls, just make sure that they are packed securely inside, so that there is little to no movement inside the box during transportation from your old home to your new home.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Long before Dellin Betances was summoned to squash a ninth-inning uprising, the Yankees were basking in the glow of assaulting a second straight Royals starter.
That Betances, who recorded the final out of an 11-7 Yankees victory Wednesday night and posted a one-out save in front of 22,899 at Kauffman Stadium, was needed was a minor bruise because the lineup torched Kansas City's Jason Vargas one night after punishing Jason Hammel.
"We came to the game with a really good plan,'' Starlin Castro said of facing the left-handed Vargas, who opened the game with a 5-1 record and an MLB-best 1.01 ERA. "Not chase pitches and make him throw the ball over the plate. We didn't chase pitches.''
By the time Vargas departed, he had given up six runs and seven hits in four innings.
Castro went 3-for-4 and raised his average to .351.
"I feel good, the whole team feels good,'' said Castro, who doubled in a run in the first and doubled and scored in the five-run fourth that was highlighted by Aaron Hicks tucking a three-run homer inside the left-field fold pole.
Those who swing the bat should feel good, because right now the 24-13 Yankees are being carried by the sticks. In the past four games, the Yankees have scored 36 runs.
"One through nine, we're getting the job done,'' Betances said. "The lineup is deep and a lot of fun to watch.''
Michael Pineda (4-2) provided six-plus innings in which he gave up four runs (three earned) and six hits (two homers). He has won four of his last five decisions.
"When we have a lot of scoring like that, it's pretty comfortable,'' said Pineda, who had a 6-0 lead when he took the mound for the fourth.
The Royals scored a pair on Salvador Perez's homer, but the Yankees responded with four in the fifth to put the game away until Giovanny Gallegos became unhinged in the ninth to give the hosts a flash flood of a chance.
Gallegos gave up three runs that cut the Yankees' lead to 11-7 and left Betances two runners on in his initial save situation since Aroldis Chapman went on the disabled list, where he is expected to stay for at least four weeks.
"It felt good to be out there. For the last two weeks, I haven't pitched much,'' said Betances, who fielded Eric Hosmer's grounder to him and fired to first to end the Yankees' second straight win.
The victory, coupled with the second-place Orioles' loss to the Tigers, hiked the Yankees' AL East lead to a season-high 1 ½ games.
Castro is never going to be considered a patient hitter, but listening to hitting coaches Alan Cockrell and Marcus Thames preach about not giving at-bats away and staying away from chasing pitches has helped the second baseman.
Hicks has benefited from more playing time and has forced manager Joe Girardi to put him in the lineup. Wednesday night, he batted eighth and was looking for a changeup.
"Make him get a changeup up in the zone and put a good swing on it,'' Hicks said of his plan against Vargas, who threw him an 80-mph change that landed in the seats and followed Didi Gregorius' RBI single.
Girardi said because of a lack of work lately it wasn't the worst thing that Betances had to hurl in a game that was seemingly over until it wasn't. One batter and one save isn't much of a workload.
Nevertheless, with the way the Yankees are hitting, it never should have come to using Betances for a save.

Illegal leader commits illegal actions (in Pakistan)
It seems that the "valuable ally" in the Great Struggle for Freedom across the world turns out to be a bad choice:
``Some judges by overstepping the limits of judicial
authority have taken over the executive and legislative
functions,'' the government's proclamation of emergency today
said. Musharraf, 64, sacked Supreme Court Justice Iftikhar
Muhammed Chaudhry, five months after a failed attempt to suspend
the top judge. The president will address the nation at 11 p.m.
The suspension of the constitution for the first time since
Musharraf seized power in a 1999 coup came as the Supreme Court
was nearing a decision on the legality of his re-election as
president while also serving as army chief. The main gates of
the Supreme Court in Islamabad were sealed by security forces
after a seven-judge panel headed by Chaudhry earlier said any
declaration of emergency would be illegal.
Really though, let it not be said that Musharraf was substantially worse than other U.S.-supported leaders in foreign countries.
On the bright side, the article indicates that Musharraf's days may be numbered.

Following a pleasant cruise across the channel, we arrived in Portsmouth a half hour late. First stop upon hitting dry land was the cashpoint, next stop the KFC to top up on some good old British grease! (Actually it had more to do with knowing we had nothing in the fridge when we got in.)
When we got home the fun and games started. My car, which had been lying idle for
the last two weeks, refused to start. First time this has happened, so called the
RAC and in the meantime unpacked the bikes and the cases. Had just finished
unpacking when the chap arrived - very timely and very pleasant, but unfortunately
unable to fix the car. After a variety of tinkering, we determined that the best
thing to do would be to let the dealer's mechanics look at it, and the RAC would
provide a flatbed to get it there. So that would completely scupper Tuesday.
I had a dream Monday night in which I went out to turn the car over, and it just
started. Contrast this with the probable reality of the thing costing hundreds of
pounds to fix...
So Tuesday I got an unexpected lie-in. Sent the clients an email saying I wouldn't
be there, then settled in to wait for the garage to open. Having had a somewhat more
leisurely than anticipated bath, I decided that before making any phone calls I
would save myself from looking an idiot and try the engine one more time. And lo!
The angel of the lord came down, the engine fired and within a few seconds was
purring away happily! Excellent result since I can really do without garage bills at
the moment.
That left the day. In the first instance I tried to find the spare transformer for
the laptop, but could I? In the end I ordered a new one so hopefully by the weekend
I'll be in a position to assess how functional it is, and whether I need to send it
away for repair.
Rest of the day, until around 4 o'clock, spent working. I need to provide
documentation for the system I've built for them, and writing some blurb was the
ideal way to get back into it.
At about 4pm, Jacqueline arrived home with both infant and cat, and peace as I knew it became a thing of the past. Still with zero food in the house, we went out for a quick supermarket shop, and after that we were all totally tired. Even though I'd stayed at home I still ended up doing half a day's work on the computer.
So, a quiet night. Attempted to watch the Brasil match but could not keep my eyes open and ended up going to bed and listening to the final part of the game on the radio.
Which brings me to.....this morning. Back into the routine, getting up at 5:45am ready for the trek to London. Lovely.....Having said that, I may as well use the journey for something useful; all of a sudden my eyelids feel heavy...

Clayton State shuts down Tusculum
Lakers allow fewest points to an opponent in program history
AIKEN, S.C. – Clayton State's defense stepped up and the Lakers rolled past Tusculum 51-26 in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday.
Clayton State improves to 29-3 overall and advances to the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Lakers will battle South Atlantic Conference champion Wingate on Saturday.
The 26 points allowed by the Lakers were the fewest in a game against a Clayton State team in program history. The previous mark was 27 against Spelman in 2003. The Lakers also held the Lady Pioneers (17-11) to only eight points in the second half
"That might be the best half of basketball we've played all season -- we really hunkered down defensively in the half court," Clayton State head coach Dennis Cox said. "That was the difference in the game on a day when we did not play particularly well offensively. We really did the job defensively, especially in the half court."
Like last Sunday in the Peach Belt Conference championship game against USC Aiken, Clayton State had a sluggish first half offensively. The Lakers shot only 20 percent from the field with six field goals. Clayton State remained in striking range against Tusculum, trailing 18-16 at halftime.
But the Lakers came out with renewed energy in the second half. Clayton State opened the half on a 10-3 run to lead by five points as Brittany Hall drained a 3-point basket and Kayla Mobley's jumper in the lane gave Clayton State a 26-21 lead at the 17:02 mark.
Tusculum never got closer than three points from that moment on, shooting only 3-for-16 (19 percent) from the field in the second half. The Lady Pioneers cut the Laker lead to 10 points on a free throw by Staci Hills at the 6:31 mark, but Clayton State held Tusculum scoreless for the remainder of the game.
The Lakers finished the game on a 15-0 run. Keona Dixon started the rally with a 3-point basket, followed by two consecutive baskets in the lane by Mobley. Tanisha Woodard pushed the Clayton State lead to 20 points on a 3-point play at the 4:53 mark.
Mobley and Hall paced a balanced Clayton State attack with 12 points apiece, while Mobley also grabbed nine rebounds. Woodard and Dixon each scored 10 points, with Woodard adding seven rebounds and seven assists.
For Tusculum, Hicks scored nine points, and Linda Aughburns grabbed a game-high 18 rebounds.

Stourhead is a place i have desperate to visit and the other day me and charlie both had a day off on the same day (very rare) and it was sunny too (even rarer).
So we hopped in my car and i drove us down to Warminster. We had such a lovely day, the trees were beginning to change colours and it really was beautiful. There was a beautiful mansion, gardens and woodland areas too. We took a lovely walk all around the lake there following all the paths around. After our walk we ate at the resturant onsite, which is a proper country pub. I had a chicken and chorizo salad and charlie ate a ham and mustard sandwich and we shared a bowl of chips. It really was a beautiful day and got me so excited for autumn.

Colonel Richardson High School art teacher Victoria Donovan and her art club students created 12 portraits of orphans from the Dominician Republic through the Memory Project.
"This is an amazing project," said Donovan.
The Memory Project is a unique initiative in which art students create portraits for children and teens around the world who have been neglected, orphaned, or disadvantaged. Given that kids in such situations tend to have few personal keepsakes, the project aims to provide the children with special memories that capture a piece of thier childhood - portable pieces of their personal history, according to the Memory Project website.
The art students receive photos of the kids and then work in any art medium to create the portraits (drawing, painting, digital art, collage, etc.). Next, the memory project delivers the portraits to the kids as gifts. They also take photos of the kids holding the portraits so the art students can see the delivery in action.
The Colonel High students who participated were: Connor McAlpine, Toni Harrison, Sara Dove, Skyler Peele, Jasmine Goslin, Kelsey Limpert, Katelyn Wain, Lexi Robertson, Katelyn Metz, and Brenna Pincus.
Below is a link to the Dominican Republic children with their portraits done by the CRHS students and the art teacher Mrs. Donovan.

Wine hotels in the Barossa Valley
South Australia is Australia's largest wine-producing state and Barossa Valley, to the north east of Adelaide, is one of the country's flagship wine-producing areas. A region of valley floors and rolling hills around the North Para River, it contains some of Australia's oldest vineyards. The star turn here is the Shiraz grape which produces wine of great depth and complexity. Whilst there is a wide range of wine hotels in the Barossa Valley, our two favourites are both in the luxury category.
- If fine food is your thing, we'd recommend The Louise whose Appellation Restaurant is widely regarded as one of Australia's finest. Dine on the terrace with its horizon-stretching views. The 15 contemporary-style rooms - with private hot tubs and decking, and some with real fires - gaze over the vineyards. There's also a spa and gym.
- For a romantic treat, Kingsford Homestead, a converted 19th-century lodge, has just seven large, luxury suites, some in separate cottages. Sleek and elegant, in contemporary country-house style, some have private terraces. Apart from wine-tasting tours, there are bird-watching and wildlife-spotting opportunities and, for the ultimate romantic experience, a spa-bath with champagne set in the heart of the bush.
If you want to widen the net, why not check out all our South Australia recommendations, or for a full list of our choice of the best wine hotels in Australia, click here.

Good Morning!
Today is Monday. It's weigh in day and Flex Point renewel day! I'm ready to give it my all and start all over with a new goal and new motivation. :) I feel pumped. I'm learning that what makes a person successul at weight loss (and maintaing at that) is not being perfect all the time. But, instead, having the humility to start over and keep trying. Even if it's 20 times in a row. All it takes is one time to "stick."
Here's my plan today:
Weigh in (expecting a gain, but that ok)
Run 3 miles, maybe 6 (3 in the morning, 3 in the evening)
Stay OP!
Put my "big girl" panties on and do the right thing.
I'll post tracker later.

The Rivard Report: Guest Post by Nan Cuba
Nan takes a turn on Gary Whitford's regular column, Every Word Counts, to give her thoughts on an age-old question, "Can Creative Writing Be Taught?" The column is regular feature of the Rivard Report. In this post, Nan shares some lessons learned from her 25 years of teaching creative writing to all ages.
"The short answer is yes, creative writing can be taught, but like most claims, it's more complicated than that. The truth lies somewhere between the proliferation of MFA programs and the fact that since everyone uses language, they think they can easily publish a book."

We wanted to share the good news that the City will finally be allowing food trucks in public spaces starting August 1 for a two month pilot project. A number of food trucks will be rotating through five parks in different parts of the City!
Councillors McMahon and Colle have been pushing for a pilot since earlier this year when we met with members of the Toronto Street Food Project and food truck entrepreneurs. Find more information in their below. The councillors are still pushing for more locations and more trucks to be included.
Please check out the trucks to support the street food pilot when it starts in a week. We hope this opens the discussion on even more street food possibilities for Toronto... and hope that City Licensing + Standards staff and Committee keep their word to finally resolve other issues like unfair fees for street food employees, and more spaces for innovative food carts and trucks to open up more opportunities for young and new Canadians.
We've been pushing for better street food and working with Councillors and partners for two of Food Forward's three years so far. Come celebrate our third anniversary with food + drink from a wide variety of awesome food ventures and mingle with some of Toronto's coolest food organizers. Get your ticket for August 7 now: http://foodtoeats.eventbrite.com/
For an opportunity to see the kind of street food we wanted legalized in Toronto, check out the innovative event Agak, Agak, Hawk! by our partner, the Chop Suzies, in Regent Park, August 9.
See you on the 7th!
Media Advisory / Photo Opportunity:
Free the Food Trucks! City of Toronto Launches Pilot Program
TORONTO, July 24, 2013 - Starting August 1st and running for two months, food trucks will begin to operate in some of our parks around the City. Since early 2013, Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon (Ward 32, Beaches-East York) and Councillor Josh Colle (Ward 15, Eglinton-Lawrence) have been urging the City to launch a pilot project that would see food trucks operating in more locations in the City. The Councillors have been pushing Municipal Licensing and Standards (ML&S) to cut the red tape that has been holding back this sector of the food industry. Currently, food trucks are restricted to operating in private parking lots and at events, often facing large rental or participant fees, in addition to their City of Toronto permit, which does not allow them to sell on City property.
WHAT: Councillors Mary-Margaret McMahon and Josh Colle will be celebrating the launch of the City's Food Truck Pilot Program with lunch at one of Toronto's food trucks
WHERE: Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto City Hall
WHEN: Thursday, July 25 at 12:15 P.M.
Food trucks and carts have been over-regulated in Toronto and this pilot project provides an opportunity to expand healthy and diverse food choices for Torontonians. Around the world, cities are embracing the power of street food to make their public spaces and urban culture more vibrant. Toronto is taking a step forward, but we are still far behind other cities such as Portland, Hamilton, New York, Dallas, and Vancouver, where food truck programs have been widely popular and a huge success.
"It is exciting that the City is taking these long overdue steps to support small businesses and entrepreneurs and to give residents the diverse food options that they clearly want," said Councillor Colle.
For the rest of the summer and part of the fall, a number of food trucks will begin to operate in five park locations: Woodbine Park, Sherbourne Commons, Roundhouse Park, Canoe Landing, and Allen Gardens. Some participating truck vendors include the following: The Feisty Jack, Urban Smoke BBQ, Stuft Gourmet Sausages, Caplansky's, Gourmet Gringos, Beach Boys, The Food Dudes, Pretty Sweet Bakery, Gourmet B1tches, Bestia, Crossroads Diner, Hogtown Smoke, Choco Churros, Tiny Tom Donus, and Localista.
"Animating our public spaces and bringing diversity to our culinary options will only add to the vibrancy of our terrific city! This has been a long time coming and we are very hopeful that this will evolve into a permanent program" said Councillor McMahon.
Councillors McMahon and Colle are continuing push ML&S staff to broaden the program to include more locations around the city and more food truck participants.

WINGER Matt Dodd has re-signed for Stourbridge.
Dodd moved to Hednesford Town in the summer after spending the previous two seasons with the Glassboys but has now chosen to return to the War Memorial Ground.
He made a total of 85 appearances for the club, scoring nine goals, and was instrumental in our FA Cup runs to the second and third rounds in the last two seasons.
Dodd made six appearances for Hednesford in his stint at Keys Park, scoring twice, including the only goal of the game in their 1-0 derby win at Stafford Rangers on Bank Holiday Monday.
Manager Gary Hackett said: "I'm absolutely delighted to have Matt back, and he's delighted to be back himself. He gives us something extra that we've perhaps been lacking so far this season."
Although Dodd is not cup tied, his signing was not completed in time to be eligible for Saturday's Emirates FA Cup tie at Loughborough Dynamo, or for any possible replay. He would, however, be eligible for future ties should Stour progress.
Dodd's return follows the capture of two other new arrivals as Hackett looks to bolster his squad further.
Wideman Pierce Kiembi and midfielder Alex Solomon have also linked up.
Kiembi, who had a run-out for Stour in pre-season two seasons ago, has most recently been with Chasetown, and numbers Bedworth United, Worcester City, Daventry Town and German side Bayer Leverkusen amongst his former clubs. He can play on either flank and is included in the travelling squad for Saturday's match Soloman can play in any position across midfield and appeared in a number of pre-season friendlies for the Glassboys, where he impressed with his work-rate.
Both players will provide additional depth for the squad with the current injuries to Kayelden Brown, Connor Gater and Chris Knight.

"When a believer pray to God, he does not have unreachable access with God when faith is involved through what He says of the Lord"
Before praying to God we understand why we want to pray to Him. We must understand what we want to do in prayers by knowing that we want to say words to the Lord but we need to ask ourselves "what can I say of the Lord?" what you say of the Lord will tell if you understand what you're doing by coming to God in prayers. But what does the Psalmist says?
Psalms 91:2 I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
"What you say of the Lord is a true revelation of Who the Lord is to you"
The Psalmist say, "I will say of the Lord…" what can you say of the LORD? This question must cross deep in our hearts before we take to prayers because what you say of a person must come under the guide of a knowing. What do you know of the Lord?
"What you know of the Lord will determine what you will say of the Lord"
We must understand that what we know of someone will determine how we deal with the person. You can not talk much of a stranger than a man that lives with the stranger. In fact a stranger is a stranger because he is so, but those that know him knows that he is not a stranger. What can you say of the Lord? The true revelation of what we know of the Lord will tell how we respond to situations. When a man his cheated by some men for example and he understands that he has a strong lawyer, what he does is that he will need to remember that he has a strong lawyer that does not lose a case then with boldness he dares to call him for help. So it is with God.
"What we know of the Lord will secure how we deal with Him in prayers and how we fellowship with Him"
So the Psalmist says I WAY SAY OF THE LORD
- He is my refuge
Refuge talks about shelter. This tells me that He understood that the Lord is enough to house Him and remember that Jesus houses the Godhead bodily and also that we are saved by running into the tower of the Lord which is His name. Tower is a building.
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
"Safety lies in being under God"
He says "I'll say of the Lord, He is my refuge" meaning He is the one that shelters me in the time of storm even before storm am always found there. You don't just run to God because of storm, you must have known where you're running to before storm. That's what David will say of the Lord.
- He is my fortress
Fortress is a place protected against attack. So see the link you come under the shelter of the Lord and then you're sure of no attack because you'll be fully guided. No wonder his son wrote that the name of the Lord is a strong tower and that safety lies in that tower of His name. So David was actually saying God is my shelter and in Him I can not come under attack because His eyes are upon me.
1 Peter 3:12 FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE OVER THE RIGHTEOUS, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
"God is not just enough to house us, He is also able to keep us fully secured"
Then you understand when he said evil can never come near us.
Psalms 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but IT SHALL NOT COME NIGH THEE.
One important thing that David said he will say of the Lord again is that
- My God
You see, you must learn to personalize God even when others choose to deny Him. You must learn to stand by His name and take up to Him alone and say "My God!"
"Some things must become so personal before it can become so general"
My God! He is my God, can you say that for some seconds, "MY GOD!" when the revelation of who God is dawn on us, we will understand how to take Him so personal. That's why Paul was saying that I may know Him
Philippians 3:10 THAT I MAY KNOW HIM, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
"It is the measure of our identity in Him and with Him that determines what we can say of Him"
Lastly, he said
- In Him will I trust
When God has become so personal with you and you know Him and then we know Him as a church we will definitely trust Him. We will trust Him because He is our God, we must have all the available right to call Him "Our God!" and that will follow that you know Him and trust Him.
"Trust is the true reflection of a KNOWING"
When we know God truly we will trust Him. Our hearts must be ready to say of the Lord "My God, in Him will I trust!" we must change what we say of the Lord "Oh God is too slow!" or "Kai! God does not answer prayers" but I'll say of the Lord my God in Him will I trust!
"Doubt in God is our shallow understanding of Him, when we know Him will dare to believe Him"
Now what will you say of the Lord?

Hi All,
I'm trying to identify all Euro 1, 2 and 3 differences for several types in Victoria.
Am I correct in assuming all O405NH are Euro 2.
All Scania L113 are euro 1 except former Ventura 1161/1162 (prev 816/817). Is Ventura 474 (Portsea) dating from 2000 Euro 1 or 2?
All Scania L94UB after 08/2002 Euro 3 with Dyson 180 the first. I'm unsure what the last batch of MBL CR222 376-381 are? And if the last Ventura (Peninsula) ones 427 and 433 dating from 02/2002 are Euro 2 or Euro 3 either?
All Scania L94UA are Euro 3 including Grenda 102 from 08/2000
If anyone can clarify this for me or point me to a relevent resource that would be great as there seems no way to tell from chassis number etc
Other types are easy to identify so haven't asked about those.
